15+ Interview Questions for Consultants [+ Sample Responses]
When people think of consulting interviews, they immediately think of case study questions. You know the ones: you’re given a hypothetical problem and asked to analyze the situation and recommend a solution.
However, solving cases is only half the battle. You also need to answer behavioral questions that assess your experience, skills, and fit for the job.
Here, we’ll cover 15+ questions that will likely come up in consulting interviews — and discuss best practices for nailing them.
The best way to answer behavioral questions is with stories. They demonstrate your impact in an engaging way and have the power to stick in your interviewer’s mind long after the interview is over.
However, these questions are not an invitation to go on lengthy tangents about your professional life. You still need structure.
